write two ratios that are equivalent to 3:1 SHOW WORK PLEASE HOW U GOT IT
can you write 3:1 as a fraction?
no only ratios
I mean, write 3:1 as a fraction (it will make the work easier)
okay but the ratios will be like
do the work in every way
but the ratios should have two dots in middle like ex:3:1
yes. But to do this problem, write 3:1 as a fraction (as the first step)
okay
\[ \frac{3}{1} \] now to find other fractions that have the same value, multiply the top and bottom by the same number. For example, we can multiply top and bottom by 2: \[ \frac{3 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2}= \frac{6}{2} \] 6/2 is another ratio that means the same thing as 3/1 we can write it as 6:2 now find another ratio (multiply top and bottom by a different number than 2)
how many ratios are there could please write them down 6:2 and
there are as many ratios (that are the same as 3:1) as numbers you can think of. (infinite number) do you understand: \[ \frac{3 \cdot n}{1 \cdot n}= \] replace the "n" with a number can you do that ?
oh i get it
yes
alot more better
what do you get if you replace "n" with 3 ?
u get 3
like this: \[ \frac{3 \cdot n}{1 \cdot n} \\ \text{ replace n with 3. You get }\\ \frac{3 \cdot 3}{1 \cdot 3}= \]
now simplify the top. what is 3 times 3 ? simplify the bottom. what is 1 times 3 ?
9 and 3
yes, but write it 9/3 or 9:3
okay very helpful
let's find one more. what do you get if you replace n with 4 ?
not sure about it 2
\[ \frac{3 \cdot n}{1 \cdot n} \\ \text{ replace n with 4. You get ?}\]
12:4
yes.
i am posting something new
ok
